Thanks Ray
I'm wondering if a 49-54 Chevy car steering box would bolt in/work in a 40-48 Chevy coupe? I have a 47 Pontiac(Canadian Pontiac so frame is the...

47 Pontiac Coupe. Canadian Pontiac's look better than the American ones.

Does Isky still make the 550 Super Legerra? Is so, for small block Chevy? Roller or flat tappet? Reverse rotation or normal? I currently have an...
Nice to see an original hot rod from back in the day from Canada. Makes it that much more special.
Very nice work. Your coupe is a business coupe. The hole you guys filled on the passenger side behind the door was where the gas tank filler neck...
can't go wrong with the 30-30 cam.
The only differences are the location of the gas tank, location of filler neck, the trunk floor, and the package tray is longer since there is no...
Here's my coupe with 265's. Uniroyal. Love the 265's. 235's are nice but still not tall enough in my mind, pending on the car.
Here's mine. SBC 4 speed 9 inch. These cars make awesome Hot Rods on a budget.
So has anyone heard of this other dealer in Nebraska with vintage Chevy's that have been stored inside for most of ther lives? I've been told the...
Here's how I see it from my point of view (I'm 22). <O:p</O:pI think a lot of young guys would be into old cars but the big thing that holds...
It's about time. I thought I was the only person into hotrods in Winnipeg thats under 30. Everyone else is hooked on that Winnipeg Heights. Love...
Put on a set of Motoro Wheel Spyder Wheels on. You will probably be the ownly one running them for miles around. Not the best looking wheel but...
Starting with the pitman arm bushings is a good start. They are always loose there. The next area to address is the steering box. You can adjust...
Here's some more pics. First coat of filler roughed out.
So after changing my rear air shocks to regular gas shocks, my tire didn't have the clearance I wanted so I decided to cut them bigger. Instead of...
Chubbie, for me it's the trying to stay in your lane that scars me the most. That and blasting it through the gears. To bad they don't make those...
I'm looking for a way to improve the steering in my coupe. There's about a full turn of play in the box and can't adjust anymore. I know they make...
I was told that this car was on ebay in the mid 2000's and sold really cheap like $7000 or something. Can anyone confirm? I've seen pics on here...
I forgot that camera's were not as popular back in the day as they are now. I should take more pictures of my cars. Even my past 2, I don't really...
I also find it funny to think of how different it must have been to build cars back in the day compared to how kids these days learn and build...
As much as I like to sit at the computer and droll over all the magnificent rods on the hamb and learn how to built them so they turn out like...
21. Looking for my 4 old car. 73 Comet, 72 C10, 90 Chev 1/2ton, 47 poncho coupe, 1980 Checkmate Enticer speed boat. Needless to say I have zero...
Dont be afraid to go big on the cam. The big 400's eat them up. I have a 406, 4 speed with stock bottom end(dish pistons), cammel humps, single...
21, Back to the fifties should be fun this year ha ha. In it for the long run. Hate imports with a passion. Can we re visit this thread in 40...
4 lbs cap. I realize 200 isn't that hot but it runs way better when it's around 180. No hard starting or "dieseling" when you shut it off. So...
